LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE: CREATIVE SPACE

i have decided to add a new category to my blog as a kind of message board for the creative. as a photographer and an artist, i like to think that i take time to smell the roses, to look at the proverbial "big picture." it is important to stay in tune with what is going on in art, in media, in technology. yet, like most, i feel that workflow and the minutia of day-to-day tasks, give me an excuse to keep myself from... well... myself, which is an artist.

to keep myself accountable, i plan on incorporating the creative, the story, into my workflow, into my day-to-day tasks. and, it all begins with stepping back, and taking a look at the big picture; literally and figuratively.

next thursday, the 6th of september, i will be at the opening reception for the world's largest photograph, hosted by the legacy photo project. last summer, six photographers took their vision and produced the world's largest pin-hole camera (out of an f-18 jet hanger), which they then used to create the world's largest photograph. you can join me next thursday, from 6:00-9:00pm at art center in pasadena for the opening reception.

the three-story tall, eleven-story wide, photograph; i wonder how many megabytes that file is...
